Great Switch.

TP-Link 8 Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch | Desktop Ethernet Splitter | Ethernet Hub | Plug and Play | Fanless Quiet | Desktop Design | Green Technology | Unmanaged (TL-SF1008D)
TP-Link 8 Port 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet Switch | Desktop Ethernet Splitter | Ethernet Hub | Plug and Play | Fanless Quiet | Desktop Design | Green Technology | Unmanaged (TL-SF1008D)

Pros: Plug and Play. No configuration necessary. I plugged it into my router and boom off we go. My router only had 4 ports on it and I needed this to reconfigure my network and give me some expansion. So far I'm impressed. Couldn't have been more simple.

Cons: It wasn't free? The only con I could come up with is the power adapter wouldn't fit in my media center box where all my cables are punched down. I had to plug it in outside of the media center box. No big deal really. I can't close it anyway because of other cables that are in the way.

Overall Review: Amazing shipping from Newegg. I ordered this on a Wednesday and I had it on Friday. Talk about impressive.

So far so good.

CORSAIR CX-M CX750M 750 W ATX 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Semi-Modular Power Supply
CORSAIR CX-M CX750M 750 W ATX 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Semi-Modular Power Supply

Pros: I bought this so I could upgrade my gpu. I needed a more powerful psu. Everything went fine for the install. It came with a few zip ties which was nice. It's quiet and so far doing the job I bought it for. Now I'm on the hunt for a gpu.

Cons: Stiff called. I would have preferred braided cables for a nicer look.

Overall Review: I probably would have bought again.. but I've noticed that other psu's with similar specs were cheaper.

Great device.

Western Digital WD Blue SN570 NVMe M.2 2280 500GB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) WDS500G3B0C
Western Digital WD Blue SN570 NVMe M.2 2280 500GB PCI-Express 3.0 x4 TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) WDS500G3B0C

Pros: I used this as an operating system drive. It's great for that purpose. I was already using ssd drivers so I haven't noticed any difference in boot times. The drive benchmarks way faster than my ssd drivers. All in all it was a great way to separate my os from my games.

Cons: None

Overall Review: I would recommend to someone looking for a budget drive.

Great deal

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER WINDFORCE OC 4G Graphics Card, 2 x WINDFORCE Fans, 4GB 128-Bit GDDR6, GV-N165SWF2OC-4GD Video Card
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER WINDFORCE OC 4G Graphics Card, 2 x WINDFORCE Fans, 4GB 128-Bit GDDR6, GV-N165SWF2OC-4GD Video Card

Pros: Can run all my favorite games on Max settings at 1080p.

Cons: When the fan ramps up, it's loud.

Overall Review: I bought this to replace a 1050ti with a 4790k cpu. I'm currently playing mostly overwatch and Jedi Knight fallen order. Before the upgrade I would get some tearing and slow downs @1080p. After the upgrade I'm getting a solid 70fps full ultra high in overwatch. Fallen order is way more playable now and looks fantastic. The only drawback on this card is when the fan ramps up it's loud. Like really loud. I have a nice nzxt h510 with plenty of airflow. There is an application you can download to set some thresholds. So far I haven't found the need to do that. Overall I'm really happy with this card.

Great Card!

EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SC GAMING, 04G-P4-6253-KR, 4GB GDDR5, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC)
EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SC GAMING, 04G-P4-6253-KR, 4GB GDDR5, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC)

Pros: Easy Installation, I picked it because it was the SC model and the price was right for my budget. Runs Everything I can throw at it. Works Perfectly with my Steam link Very quiet. I can't even hear it. I had to check it to make sure the fan was actually moving.

Cons: A lot of waste in the packaging. I don't know why the put a novel book on the installation in the box. You think I'm kidding, but its literally a Paperback book that you'd see a third grader bring home from the school library. Its a terrible waste. You could have saved us all money by just putting in a sheet of paper, or even a link to the web site or a YouTube video. I'm nervous about the rebate. I hope it goes through. It wasn't clear on the rebate instructions which bar code on the box they wanted as there were multiple bar codes throughout the box.. I hope I picked the right one.

Overall Review: I bought this to replace an aging Radeon 7750 running on an i7 4790k. I had stopped playing FO4 because my 7750 couldn't keep up. This 1050 TI has exceeded my expectations. I'm running Fallout 4 at 60FPS at 1080p, at least if you believe what Steam says. Its definitely payable and it looks amazing. I've also played some TF2 and it runs like a champ. The kids play all the Lego games through the Steam Link and they look amazing. I can't wait to purchase more games now. Gaming is fun again. Just a side note, A+++ on Newegg. I tried to originally order this at another store because I had some credits. I waited 8 days and they would never ship it because I'm not prime. Its the Prime Penalty. I ordered it here at Newegg on a Tuesday and I received it on a Thursday. I'm not a premier shipping subscriber either. Now that class and excellent customer service. Newegg will always be my first choice from here on out. Thank You Newegg!
